July – Change in the Saturday draw
Because so many junior players are going to the Gold Coast for National Juniors on 30th July, several teams will be affected. As a result, there will be a change in the draw for the Men’s Competition for that weekend and onward. Please take note of the changes on the Competition page.
Also, it has been decided that, while we are Valentine Park, the team duties are: that the players involved in the first match will put the lines on the court and the players involved in the second match will remove the lines and clean the resin off the court.
